Chapter 62



After seeing the "luxury villa", the comments in the live broadcast room doubled, and everyone was having fun.

[Shi Xi is really miserable. He only came for two episodes, but the rich production team suddenly turned into dogs, and the conditions became increasingly difficult.]

[Ji Mingxu: I told you not to be too happy too soon, didn’t I? I told you that the director doesn’t intend to be a human being this time, right?]

[I only care about the guests' looks. Even if they are wearing ordinary clothes, they can still slay others with their looks.]

[Yu Xiaoqian and Zhang Xiuming's expressions are so funny, did they miss the last episode of the variety show?]

The main door of the villa opened, and the chief director came out, spread his hands in a welcoming gesture, and asked with a smile: "Dear teachers, are you satisfied with this episode of Weird House?"

Director Song: "Is this what you call 'returning to luxury style'?"

Shi Xi: "Is this what you call 'worth looking forward to'?"

Ji Mingxu showed disdain on his face: "Can you have some sense? It's the last episode and you're still trying to trick us."

"Explain?" Lu Xiu looked coldly and approached him with his long legs.

The other guests followed closely behind, approaching the director step by step, with an extremely powerful aura.

The chief director took a step back and winked at the assistant director: "The live broadcast can be turned off!"

The assistant director said to the live studio: "In order to save the face of the chief director, this live broadcast ends here. See you when the main film is broadcast."

Chief Director: “…You’re the only one who talks too much!”

[Don't turn it off. We are all so familiar with each other. Is there anything we can't see? ]

【Director: It’s too much. It’s too much.】

[Hahaha, you deceived the guest, now you are being "bullied" by the guest! ]

[Assistant director, I'll lend you my courage, play it for another five minutes! ]

The assistant director lowered his voice and said, "Then I'll secretly broadcast it for another five minutes."

The guests cornered the director, who weakly explained, "Although the interior decoration of this villa is not very good..."

Lu Xiu chuckled: "Is this not very good?"

"The decoration is a bit unfinished," said the director, "but we have checked for potential safety hazards and it is very safe. Also, this villa is very special. It is a truly irreplaceable weird house! Most importantly, we are going to hold a luxurious banquet here. The dresses are ready for you all. You will definitely not be disappointed!"

Lu Xiu's expression changed in an instant, and he patted the director's shoulder amiably: "You should have said it earlier, I misunderstood you."

Shi Xi tilted his head: "Since we are going to hold a banquet, we must have delicious food, right?"

Director Zhensheng: "Of course!"

[Ahhh, we are the ones who were tricked. The director must have said this on purpose to whet our appetite! ]

[Why is this villa irreplaceable? Has a supernatural event really happened there? ]

[I feel like it looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere.]

[What is the theme of this episode? It makes me itch. If you have the guts, please continue the live broadcast! ]

Amidst the calls for retention, the assistant director said goodbye again and sadly turned off the live broadcast.

The director asked his assistant to come over and distribute prop backpacks to the guests.

"Teachers, there are equipment you can use in the backpacks," Assistant Xiao Xu handed out backpacks and respectfully handed out new notebooks: "This is the new plot outline. The comic file has been sent to your mobile phones."

That’s right, this issue is comic book themed!

Shi Xi got a light blue backpack, unzipped it and saw some necessities for the expedition, including a flashlight, a climbing rope, a Swiss knife, etc. There were also some cosmetics and daily necessities.

Opening her phone, she saw the comic file that Xiao Xu mentioned. She clicked on the file and saw four hideous characters "Cliff Party" appear on the screen. The last stroke of each character was dyed in a shocking red.

The chief director coughed lightly and pointed to a certain place: "There are chairs and tea prepared over there. Teachers can go over there and sit comfortably to read the plot outline. We also need to hurry up to set up the scene here. After sunset, we will start shooting. Is that ok?"

"No problem," Ji Mingxu hooked his arm around the director's neck and said nonchalantly, "If you decorate it a little more splendidly, I'll reluctantly forgive you."

"Of course, of course. We have restored the comic scenes one-to-one." The chief director looked at Shi Xi and said, "Teacher Xiao Shi, please stay. I have something to ask of you."

Director Song glanced at the chief director and said, "Don't bully us kids."

The director felt wronged: "How dare I!"

Shi Xi stayed to talk to the director, while the other guests went to the lounge area.

Yu Xiaoqian took two steps and couldn't help but look back, wondering, what on earth did the director want to say to Shi Xi when he left her alone?

The chief director glanced at Yu Xiaoqian, her heart skipped a beat, and she turned around and left quickly.

"Teacher Xiao, we are still worried after what happened in the last episode," the chief director said softly, "Can you continue to serve as our technical consultant for this episode? Regardless of whether any supernatural events are discovered during the filming, we will pay the consulting fee."

Exorcism technology consultant? That sounds funny.

It seems that the production crew was really scared, but they couldn't let the variety show go on hiatus, so they had to bite the bullet and shoot this episode.

"No problem," Shi Xi thought for a moment, then said, "If you need a technical advisor for next season, I can recommend someone."

The director felt relieved: "That's great, thank you Teacher Xiao."

By the time the guests had digested the new plot outline, the sun was about to set.

According to the variety show script, this time they will play the role of a group of rich second-generations who drive to the cliff villa to play adventure games.

The program crew wanted to shoot a "scene" of them driving to the villa, so the car was prepared in advance and a camera was installed inside.

Lu Xiu was responsible for driving. After leaving the villa, he took everyone for a ride until the director said the recording should start, and then the black SUV went up the mountain again.

As soon as the director started talking, several actors in the car quickly got into the mood.

Shi Xi opened the car window, looked at the lush trees flying by, and asked nonchalantly, "Brother Lu, how long will it take to get there?"

Lu Xiu glanced at the navigation and said politely, "We'll be there in a few minutes. I've made all the arrangements. I guarantee it will be the most exciting birthday you've ever had."

Hearing him say this, Shi Xi became interested and turned to ask, "Is the villa we are going to really the prototype in the comics?"

"Really?" Lu Xiu said in a relaxed tone, "Teacher Chu Die was originally an architect. She participated in the design of this cliff villa. After the building was completed, she came to the site and was inspired. After returning, she created the weird comic "Cliff Banquet."

The six people in the car were all avid fans of this comic, and they were all excited when they heard this.

Ji Mingxu turned his head and looked at him: "How did you know this?"

Lu Xiu curled his lips and smiled: "The cliff villa was going to be sold, and I accidentally saw it and found that it was exactly the same as the villa in the comics, so I asked my father's assistant to check it out, and then I found out the story behind it."

"So you bought this villa, arranged an adventure game, and brought us here to play it," Ji Mingxu gave a thumbs up: "Awesome."

"Haven't you been complaining about the lack of an ending to The Cliff Banquet? It's such a pity that it's only one step away from becoming a god?" Lu Xiu lowered his voice a little: "This time we are here to role-play, go through the story of the comic from beginning to end, and give it an ending ourselves."

Ji Mingxu thought of something and took a deep breath. "The comic has exactly six main characters, three men and three women, and the heroine also accidentally entered the cliff villa on her birthday. This is too coincidental... Brother, you are really good to think of playing like this."

Lu Xiu said proudly: "I have been preparing for today for a long time. You will know when we get to the villa. There will definitely be surprises."

"This is so fun, I like this way of celebrating birthdays! So now I am the heroine of the comic, let me help you recall the plot." Shi Xi opened the first chapter of the comic, and his slender fingers slid quickly, summarizing the plot as he read.

"A group of young people who were traveling by car found that their navigation system failed and their cell phones lost signal after they entered the forest area. They planned to return the same way but got lost on the way.

"It was already dark, and they were hungry and tired, so they could only drive aimlessly, looking for a signal. They drove to the top of the mountain unknowingly, and then, a luxurious cliff villa miraculously appeared in front of them.

"The villa was lit up and looked comfortable. They decided to try their luck. If they were lucky, they could have a good meal and ask for directions to leave."

At this time, Ji Mingxu pointed to the front and said, "Look, there is a cliff villa in front! The lights are on. Let's try our luck~"

Shi Xi raised his eyes and saw the cliff villa standing in the night through the front window of the car. Its outer wall was inlaid with large areas of glass, which was now shining with warm yellow light, like a lighthouse guiding lost people.

"Ji Mingxu, you got into the role pretty quickly this time." Director Song laughed.

Ji Mingxu chuckled: "This is so interesting. Have you ever thought that maybe we have already entered the comics, but we are unaware of it."

The car drove towards the cliff villa. The surroundings were extremely quiet. The scene in front of me was highly consistent with the plot of the comics, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

The carriage fell into an eerie silence. Yu Xiaoqian couldn't help but clench her fingers. The variety show had just started recording and she already felt the pressure.

The plot outline the director gave them was very simple, consisting of only a few sentences. The content of the conversation between the guests just now was all improvisation by them. She was confused and couldn't get a word in at all.

Yu Xiaoqian touched Zhang Xiuming's arm and asked him in a whisper: "Are we really recording a variety show?"

"Yes, right," Zhang Xiuming also said in a low voice, "This variety show seems to be of this style."

Yu Xiaoqian: "I was busy with filming before, so I didn't catch up on watching this variety show before I came here. You didn't watch it either, did you?"

Zhang Xiuming nodded silently.

Yu Xiaoqian didn't say anything else, she sat up straight, thinking, the other four guests' performances were too brilliant, if she continued in this state, she might not even appear in the main film. She had to find a way to get some shots.

She and Liu Ziyu belong to the same company. Before she came, her agent specifically told her that the program team would select a permanent guest for the next episode. Liu Ziyu's performance in the previous episode was not very good, so she had to learn to fight for it.

Zhang Xiuming also looked thoughtful, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Director Song thought the car was too quiet: "Xiao Shi, continue to recall the plot."

Shi Xi nodded and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "Just when the SUV arrived at the gate of the villa, the gate opened automatically... L, who was driving, said that the owner of the villa must have noticed our car and guessed that we were lost tourists, so he took the initiative to open the door for us?

"J, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said, 'This owner is really kind. I guess he often helps lost people. He must be willing to give us some food, right?

"The unbearable hunger made the young people lose their vigilance. They drove into the yard and saw a man wearing a black suit and smiling. Although his temples were gray, his face was still handsome.

"Several young people got out of the car and greeted the man in a suit, asking him if he was the owner of the villa. The man shook his head and said he was just the housekeeper here..."

Ji Mingxu tapped the car window and said casually, "The butler has arrived. He's a powerful character."

Before Shi Xi finished her first chapter, the SUV arrived at the gate of the villa. Just like the comic she described, the gate of the villa opened automatically, silently welcoming them.

Lu Xiu drove into the yard and everyone saw a man standing in front of the main gate. His face was hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly. All they could see was that he was wearing a black suit.

After parking the car, Lu Xiu said, "Get out of the car. The housekeeper has been waiting for us for a long time."
